    Thank you. My late father was a native Californian and told us how as a kid he could see Half Dome from the family yard. He was so very proud of that & being a native Californian.

    Yosemite is amazing especially in late winter when there are less crowds.

    We went to Yosemite last month and the views are so breathtaking. We didn’t get to the glacier point because of closure but hope to come back to see Yosemite summer view someday.

    I was in Yosemite Valley in May and wow what an amazing difference!! Not a snow person myself but the Valley has a unique beauty in winter. Thanks for an awesome video!!

    Oh man....that brings back some wonderful memories of our first California holiday (hey, I'm English, so it wasn't a vacation ;) ). Yosemite was just stunning. One day we'll return :)

    Very well done, FWIW. I've been ten times (over the span of 50 years), but never in the winter. That'll be next, thanks to your video. I was there with my son in early November back in the late 1990's, and there already was snow up high - but we were still able to hike to Vernal and Nevada Falls (Yosemite Falls trail was closed then) - although it was very slippery at the top. ... probably days/hours from shutting it down too.
    Yosemite is easily my family's favorite national park - and we live within two hours of Mt. Rainier N.P. (which is a GREAT N.P. - but nothing matches Yosemite in our books).

    The is my favorite place. Many years ago my youngest daughter and I took our horses and rode part of the John Muir Trail. It was amazing. And on the same trip we rode part of the John Muir Trail in the Mammoth area. Sad, many of the trees were dying in the mammoth area due to the volcanic gases.

    Unfortunately, lots were closed this year. Horsetail Fall in February is awesome because of the sun, making it look like lava. Couldn't get near it at all in 2019, darn it.
